Storing & Serving Caviar

How To Store Caviar

To preserve the exceptional quality of Meredith Marks Caviar, we recommend storing unopened caviar in the coldest part of your refrigerator and enjoying it within one week of delivery. When properly stored, unopened caviar can maintain its freshness for three to six weeks—always refer to the best-by date on the back of each tin for guidance.

Once opened, we suggest consuming your caviar within 48 hours to fully savor its delicate flavor and texture.

For optimal storage, keep caviar at a temperature between 28-32°F. Freezing is not recommended, as it may compromise the texture and overall quality.

How To Know Caviar is Good

To determine if the caviar you have purchased or are being served is of high quality, examine both its appearance and aroma. Caviar should have a distinct color and a fresh, ocean-like scent. 

When inspecting caviar, look for uniformity in the size and shape of the eggs. The texture should be firm. A glossy, pearl-like sheen on the eggs is another indicator of freshness and quality.

Keep in mind that caviar naturally varies in color, size, texture, and other characteristics depending on the sturgeon species, its environment, and the region where it was harvested.

How To Serve Caviar

Meredith Marks Caviar can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, depending on personal preference. A classic serving tradition is to place it atop a blini with a dollop of crème fraîche, paired beautifully with a glass of champagne or a chilled shot of vodka. Other delicious accompaniments include hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped green onions, and many more limitless possibilities. Meredith Marks Caviar can effortlessly elevates any dish.

For the best experience, we recommend using our mother-of-pearl spoon, as metal utensils can introduce an unwanted metallic taste due to oxidation. To maintain its ideal temperature and texture, caviar should be kept over ice while serving.
